~40% faster approval cycleRole-based routingSLA-aware escalations

Problem

Change & Request approvals were slow, with rigid serial routing and missed SLAs during peak load.

Approach

Designed dynamic Flow Designer workflows with conditional branching, role-based notifications, and SLA-aware timers. Layered Business Rules for auto-assignment and priority recalculation.

Outcomes

Cut mean approval time by ~40% across Change and Request workloads.
Eliminated ‘approver black-holes’ with SLA-aware escalations to backup approvers.
Reduced governance escalations during peak release windows.

Notable details

Conditional branching by risk, CI class, and requester department.
Auto-assignment via Business Rules coalescing on assignment group + skill.
Notification templates driven by dynamic content and preference records.
